The timer turns red at 25 - 30 seconds or so... Can I get a 'beep' when this happens?? Sometimes I don't notice the goings on up there while studying the board.. Make it an option if you like.. OR.. No option, that way it's only a few lines of code, max...I'm just sayin...

This feature already exists. Both audible sound when opponent moves, AND a visual flash on the tab (when playing multiple games). I love that feature..

What is missing however, is an alert for when your timer is low and turns red,,,

I use a 54' TV as my monitor when playing at home.. and a 17' laptop elsewhere.. I don't miss the timer on the laptop.. So it must be that the timer is in my peripheral vision when playing on the big screen..

Still, I would very much like to have a little beep when the timer runs low.. Kinda like your coach pounding the mat when 10 secs left in the round of your fight!

Being that it would be (seemingly) so easy to implement, can we consider adding this feature for the next update?

Why this has not been requested more or developed by us:

It is not standard in the chess world - you are expected to monitor your own clock in offline or online games, without getting overt reminders. A clock turning red meets this criteria, since you would have to be monitoring you clock to see that it turned red.

It would be possibly annoying for increment game players, especially short time control ones. For instance, if you are playing 1+1, you may keep hearing this ding every time you drop 30 below before going above 30 and having this repeat.

Bullet games (majority of site games) are already played under a time pressure situation - users already know they need to move quickly, without a reminder
